XAG Annual Conference 2021 was held in Guangzhou, China with the theme “Step into Agrifuture”, which launched a series of agricultural innovations to empower farmers with more sophisticated autonomous solutions. Five new products, including the XAG P50 and P100 Agricultural Drone, XAG M500 and M2000 Remote Sensing Drone, and the updated XAG R150 Unmanned Ground Vehicle, are released in China and will be available for global sales in 2022.

Over the past eight years, XAG has been successfully scaling up its agricultural drones across 42 countries and regions to bridge the digital divide in rural areas. The newly updated farming drones and robots not only enrich XAG‘s six smart agriculture product lines, but also leapfrog the previous moDeveloping dels in terms of efficiency, precision, and safety. They are full of human-centred design to bring thoughtful care to users on farms.
The two new models of XAG Agricultural Drone, P100 and V50, follow brand new principles from their structural design to task systems. The XAG P100 inherits the classical quadrotor structure with a 40kg effective payload, while the V50 adopts XAG’s leading dual tilt-wing design to meet the needs of different users based on the farm size.
Both new drones are crafted in a structure that can fully separate their flying platform from task systems. This means that they can switch flexibly between the function of crop spraying, granule spreading and field survey. Transportation and maintenance are also made much easier to increase operation efficiency.
Back to the past, the agricultural drone is unable to work without network signals because its autonomous flight relies on the RTK signal of the 4G network. Now with the more advanced SuperX 4 Pro flight control system, the XAG P100 and V50 can remain steady, high-accuracy operation around farms even with weak internet infrastructure. It brings farmers the new possibility to operate in a “networkless” area.
